I do that as well. Was told years ago on here that isn't the way it is supposed to be, but I think it works better.I always put the stud on top.
I heated and bent a wrench in this same shape to remove the PS pump on my Cummins. Saved hous of work. Heated and bent wrenches many times to build what was needed. Must be the flat rate tech in me.
I've done that for the fuel injector pump. Big Cam 400. You know the one I'm talking about. 1/12 turn at a time.

I have a few 'bent' wrenches too.....but was at a loss to get the starter screws loose on my 97 diesel. Just needed more umph. Someone else swapped the starter for me lots of moons ago and went to town on all 3 of them!I heated and bent a wrench in this same shape to remove the PS pump on my Cummins. Saved hous of work.

I've got a load of bent wrenches too, handed down from my dad when he worked on Mercedes cars in the 1960s. Some were actual MB branded tools, still have the heat marks where he did the bending.I heated and bent a wrench in this same shape to remove the PS pump on my Cummins. Saved hous of work.
